In that case I should be able to tell you exactly how you can get it all to work with minimal fuss:
- Install TV in 2nd DVI port of your primary graphics card
- Turn on TV and windows should recognise it (might want to check it is running in "game mode" or similar)
- Go to Nvidia control panel and in the "set up multiple displays" tab, select "dualview"
- Ensure your monitor and TV are set to the correct resolutions in the nvidia control panel
- Go into the "screen resolution" part of Windows control panel. Move the TV to the correct side of the monitor by dragging and dropping and adjust the vertical alignment as needed. #
- If you have any issues with scaling, go into the Nvidia control panel again and there is an option called "resize HDTV desktop". This will allow you to resize the desktop on the TV so it uses up all the pixels.
In most video applications (I use the KMPlayer) you can set it to be "always on top". Therefore you can fullscreen the video on the TV and click the mouse on the main monitor and the video will still run full-screen without any issues.
In games, there is usually an option for "borderless window mode", in this mode the game will look like it is fullscreen, but windows (or a video) will still be fully visible on the other monitor/TV.
